Chapter 831: Being considerate

Audience: ...

Everything was quiet, not a sound was heard.

The previous second, the locker room was bustling with noise and everyone was busy with their own things.

The next second, all eyes were focused on the scene, and everyone stared at it in amazement.

Kyrgios couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Wawrinka with his eyes wide open, anger surging in his heart and words were about to burst out.

But Wawrinka didn't care at all. He puffed out his chest, and instead of retreating, he took a small step forward, as if he was rolling up his sleeves and was about to throw a punch.

"Stan!"

Another voice broke the silence, cutting off the atmosphere just in time before Kyrgios could speak, and everyone's attention was focused on it.

It's Federer.

Federer did not step forward, but stood in the middle of the aisle and called out.

"Stan? Gawain?"

"Is everything all right?"

Wawrinka did not answer Federer immediately. Instead, he looked away, ignoring the furious Kyrgios, and looked at Gawain, asking with his eyes:

How are you?

Gao Wen felt a little warm in his heart and smiled at Wawrinka to show that he was fine.

Wawrinka was still a little worried, so he confirmed with his eyes again. Only when he saw Gawain's upturned mouth did he feel relieved.

"Roger, it's okay, it's just too noisy."

Wawrinka turned his head and looked around, then spoke loudly to the players in the locker room.

"Sorry for scaring everyone."

It was a simple sentence, a little dry. He didn't explain the whole story to excuse himself, nor did he resolve the awkwardness with humor. He just nodded.

That's all.

Then, Wawrinka looked at Kyrgios again, facing those eyes burning with anger, completely unconcerned, and retracted his gaze, patting Gawain on the shoulder.

"I'm going to practice some batting practice before the game. Shall we do it together?"

In order to prepare for a formal competition, warm-up training should be gradual.

First, they will conduct pre-match batting training on the training ground, which is equivalent to a simple practice match.

Secondly, they will arrive at the stadium and warm up the muscles of various parts of the body. The whole training is very detailed.

Finally, they will go to the stadium gym to do aerobic training using equipment such as bicycles, rowing machines or treadmills to keep their muscles active.

Everything has a procedure.

It is also because of this that once an unexpected situation occurs, such as the previous game lasting longer than expected, or the game being delayed due to weather reasons, the warm-up must start all over again, meticulously, not only to find the game form, but also to avoid unexpected injuries.

Gao Wen's match was in the afternoon, and he had to wait patiently for the previous three matches to be over before he could take the stage.

Wawrinka's match is tomorrow.

Now, Wawrinka offered to help Gawain warm up, that is, pre-match batting training, but in fact it was a warning to Kyrgios and others, and he conveyed to Gawain that he would wait outside to avoid any unexpected situations.

It was just a short sentence, but it was profound and made Gao Wen feel warm again.

Gao Wen smiled at Wawrinka and said, "Okay, see you later."

Without saying anything else, Wawrinka turned around and walked towards Federer not far away.

The surrounding onlookers' gazes receded like the tide, and the surging heat waves in the air slowly settled down, with only the rustling sounds continuing to surge.

Gawain thought, great, now it's their turn to settle the score.

But this time, Kyrgios once again took the lead, with a cruel smile on his face, and his fists clenched, making joints crackle: "What should I do? Your patron saint left?"

tread.

Kyrgios obviously had no intention of letting things go. He took advantage of the moment when Gawain turned his head to launch a sneak attack, closing the distance very suddenly and unexpectedly.

A fist came towards me.

Where's Gawain? He dodged! He dodged sideways like a boxer, using his nimble feet to dodge the opponent's defense in a palm-sized space, and then he threw a punch.

With a kick! He took a straight step forward, almost brushing past Kyrgios's right fist, and then used his right hand to push away Kyrgios's useless fancy moves. The next second, his left fist swung fiercely towards Kyrgios's cheek, like a heavy hammer.

"ah!"

Kyrgios put his hands on his head and took a defensive stance, but before he knew it, his chaotic steps had already retreated and dodged.

But... the imagined heavy blow did not fall.

Kyrgios opened his eyes and saw that Gawain's fist had suddenly braked at the last moment, and he restrained himself by pulling back the force.

What happened to him?

At this moment, Kyrgios realized his embarrassing and obscene posture.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In an instant, he became furious and the anger burned away all his rationality.

The curses and swear words could no longer be controlled and burst out continuously.

"You ***, damn XXX, beep beep beep... I beep beep beep..."

Disgusting words exploded one after another.

Kyrgios struggled to move forward, yelling "Don't stop me/I'm going to kill you", but took a step before realizing that no one was stopping him.

This is embarrassing.

Fortunately, Gross reacted in time and immediately grabbed Kyrgios' left hand, thus saving the quarrel from almost becoming a comedy.

Gawain used all his might but still couldn't hold back the slight upward curve of his lips. He watched as Koggenakis was half a beat late to join Gross and together they held Kyrgios, stopping a fight that was not going to happen at all, and then quietly waited for Kyrgios to finish venting.

In fact, the time was much shorter than expected, much, much shorter, and Kyrgios... was a little "fast".

Gawain showed a very serious and regretful expression and shook his head slightly.

"Is your vocabulary too limited? You keep repeating the same few words over and over again. Why don't you update your vocabulary? You can curse more freely."

KYRGOS: …

This is intolerable.

This time, Kyrgios really lost control. He broke free from the restraints of Gross and Kojnakis and rushed towards Gawain with one big stride.

But he never expected that Gao Wen would advance instead of retreating.

Step! With one step! Gawain also came forward, and his right shoulder was about to collide with the opponent's left shoulder, but Gawain would not risk getting hurt.

He took a step back and then used his right shoulder to move away. His right hand went around Kyrgios's back and pushed forward. Kyrgios immediately staggered out using the force of his forward rush.

"ah!"

Seeing that Kyrgios was about to hit the wall, Koggenakis and Gross both screamed, but Gawain grabbed Kyrgios' left hand to brake, and twisted Kyrgios' arm with a reverse cutting movement.

At the same time, Gawain stepped closer to Kyrgios' ear and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, as if he was telling a secret to Kyrgios alone, but everyone could hear it.

"Nick, why are you so angry? Is it because you slept with Tanasi's girlfriend and you're worried that he'll find out?"

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

"Hush."

KYRGOS: …

Koggenakis: ...
